org/wiki/Electric_current Keynote plan: - Brief description - What induction heating is based on, from electrical power input to final Joule+Histeretic. Curie point, etc - Coil: Design principles and critical concerns = - What induction heating is used for: = Melting = Forging = Brazing = Surface Hardening (both durability and brittlery) Martensitic in steel , pros and cons = Appliances

INTRO: since latest 19th century (melting metals in rings, problems of mechanica l forces). 2nd world war to treat projectiles

SLIDE ABSTRACT - Other advantages: Ease of automation and control Reduced floor-space requirements Quiet, safe, and clean working conditions Low maintenance requirements. MATH: electroMOTIVE - How flux works in materials ferro and not ferromagnetic. curie point. Temperat ure effect on resistance - Basic maths biot-savart -> faraday/lenz -> both joule and histeretic - solid bar as model. - Eddy current distribution: skin effect->reference depth - Equivalent resistance and efficiency. Frequency effect - Other geometries ? - Determination of power requirements - Radiation losses, convection losses, coil losses
